rtinnman Report post Posted July 6, 2009 We are traveling to FL in October and would like to stay on the Gulf side. Can anyone recommend a campground very close to the beach? Bob T. F371914 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sljuntunen@gmail.com Report post Posted July 7, 2009 Say, Bob: We often winter in the Tampa/St. Pete area and Ft. Myers. You'll really like Fort DeSoto State Park on the South end of St. Petersburg although I think there's a 14 day stay limit and DO call ahead. Otherwise the Punta Gorda area is great and there are some nice parks on the Gulf in Ft. Myers. Steve & Lynette Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

F371914 Hello, Bob. Use FMCA.com's Business Directory to locate a campground that meets your needs. And if you know the zip code by the beach, you can do a radius search.

gatordan Report post Posted July 13, 2009 Consider the panhandle around Destin. Henderson Beach State Park is on the Gulf. Twelve miles east is Topsail Preserve State Park, our favorite. They have a shuttle to take you 1/2 mile to the beach. Other options are State Parks at Panama City Beach, and St George Island State Park near Apalachicola.
